This is the final post of the 2017 backlog.
I usually get tapped with taking the pictures for the day job’s holiday card.
My co-workers range from putting in a ton of effort in getting ready for their portrait to just showing up and saying “let’s get this done” to complaining incessantly about it.
I, for the most part, enjoy the exercise, even though these are little more than glorified mugshots that take up about 1 square centimeter on a card that I’m not certain many of our customers even look at.
I’m going to share the pictures of co-workers that are also subscribers to this here blog. Maybe a couple more that I just enjoy.
I don’t Photoshop these. I just turn them over to the powers that be. Okay, I might have Photoshopped Jorge’s picture a hair because I kept being told that his eyes are too small. Dude has small eyes. Why you pickin’ on him?
These aren’t the pictures used on the holiday card. They aren’t even the best pictures from their shoots. Tey are just pictures that I liked.
An Artist’s Notebook will probably take Sundays off for the time being. I think we all need the break.
I miss the annual photos – they were always fun to see!
I love answering the same question every year from the same people about, “Why can’t we just reuse last year’s photo?”
But some years there are surprises on people that really, really care about the picture.
